We have an initial information that the half-life of morphine is 3hrs and there’s that
0.4mg of morphine is there in the bloodstream.
Based on the 2nd initial condition, we need to find an equation for the amount of
morphine in the bloodstream at any point of time.
Also, when does the amount of morphine in the bloodstream drop below 0.01mg?
Based on the question, y(t) 0.01 and we need to find the value of t.
If we let y(t) represent the amount of morphine in the bloodstream at any time t, then the
rate of change of amount of morphine with respect to time is y' (t) . Thus, since y' (t) is
proportional to y(t) , we have
y' (t) k

For some constant of proportionality k(the growth constant)
Now, from the above equation, we can derive,

Considering y(0) as the initial condition.

We have an initial information wherein it’s given that the coffee’s temperature is 160o F ,
20min after it’s being served. At the 22nd min , the temperature is 158o F .Considering,
the room temperature as 68o F , we need to find out if the serving temperature is hotter or
cooler that 180o F .
According to Newton’s law of cooling, if we introduce a hot object in a cool surrounding
or vice versa then the rate at which the object cools or warms (in the other case) is not
proportional to its temperature but rather to the difference in temperature between the
object and its surrounding.

change of population with respect to time is
y(t) , we have
y' (t) . Thus, since y' (t) is proportional to
y' (t) k y(t )
For some constant of proportionality k(the growth constant)
Now, from the above equation, we can derive,
y(t) Aekt , where A=constant, k=growth constant t=time
According to the problem $280,000 is given out in 4 installments and hence we get the
below equation
(280, 000 *1.083 ) (280, 000 *1.082 ) (280, 000 *1.08) 280, 000
280, 000 *1.08(11.08 1.08

) 280, 000
302, 400(11.08 1.1664) 280, 000
1, 261, 711.36
Now, considering $1,000,000, given out with an interest rate as 8%; and the final amount
is: 1, 000, 000e0.08*3 1, 000, 000e0.24 1, 000, 000*1.27 1, 271, 249.15
Thus, we can understand that getting $1,000,000 at an interest of 8% is way better than
getting $280,000 in 4 installments with 8% rate of interest.

We have an initial information where the rate is given which is 8%. We need to find out
why rule of 72 is still used, though the rule of 69 is better.
If we let y(t) represent the number of bacteria in a culture at time t, then the rate of
change of population with respect to time is
y(t) , we have
y' (t) . Thus, since y' (t) is proportional to
y' (t) k y(t )
For some constant of proportionality k(the growth constant)
Now, from the above equation, we can derive,
y(t) Aekt , where A=constant, k=growth constant t=time
Let’s consider a value , 1000
Considering the equation
We have
y(t) Aekt ------ (i)
y
(0)
1000
Based on (i), we have
y

1000
=
Aek*0 = A (since e0 1 )
Therefore, 1000= A
Now, we need to find the doubling time
Therefore, 2 y(0) 2 *1000 2000
y(t) 2000 1000e
0.08t
2000 e0.08t
1000
2 e0.08t
Thus 1
0.08 ln 2 t
0.693 t 8.66
0.08
t 8.66
Now applying rule of 72= 72 9 which is a whole number
8
Applying rule of 69, we get 69 8.625
8
This rule of 72 is used because it gives whole number result which is easier to find out,
though rule of 69 gives a very close result
The doubling time, t 8.66

We have an initial information wherein it’s given that in 1975, income between
$16000&$20000 was taxed at 28%. In 1988, that is after 13 years, income between
$16000&$20000 was taxed at 15%. We need to prove that taking inflation into account,
we need to prove that this is not a valid comparison.
According to the basic formulas: P(1 r )nt where

Now, let’s consider that someone bought an asset worth $16000in the year 1975. So this
can be considered a depreciating asset. The reason is that, after years the asset value
depreciates and also does the currency value in a similar way.
Thus, let’s consider the initial condition

Considering $8571.43 as the value same $16000, 13 years later; we can see that 28% tax
would give us a tax amount of 8571.43 * 28 $2400.0004 ------- (i)
100
13 years later, in the year 1988, the tax value of $16000 at the rate of 15% becomes
16000 *15 $2400 = equation (i)

Thus, we can conclude that inflation is the only criterion which needs to be considered
here; and that taxes are reduced based on the inflation and there’s never a real decrease in
the tax amount that we owe to the government.

Similarly, from 1975, $16000 faced an inflation of an average rate of 5.5% for 13 years.
We need to find the tax percent for the year 1975.

Considering $7827.07 as the value same $16000, 13 years later; we can see that 57.24%

whether this is plausible, we have to assume that humans have maintained a constant
birthrate b and death rate d . We need to prove that under the condition b 2d , half the

We have an initial population which is 100. Based on this initial population, after 4 hours,
the new population is 100*2 200 . Thus we need to plot a table in order to get a graph
for ln(population)vs time.
Later over the graph, on the linear line; we need to take 2 points; draw a line through
them and find the subsequent equation.
Finally, we need to find the population function
p(x) e
y(x)
If we let y(x) represent the number of bacteria in a culture at time t, then the rate of
change of population with respect to time is y' (x) . Thus, since
have y(x)
y' (x) is proportional to, we
y' (x) ky(x)
For some constant of proportionality k(the growth constant)
Now, from the above equation, we can derive,
y(x) Aekx , where A=constant, k=growth constant x=time
Considering the equation
We have
y(x) Aekx ------ (i)
y

Based on (i), we have y(0) 100 = Aek*0 = A (since e0 1 )
Therefore, 100= A
Subsequently, we can consider that, doubling of the population happens every 4 hours

We have an initial population which is 100. Based on this initial population, after 4 hours,
the new population is 100*2 200 .
We need to compare our regression model equation to the population model equation
If we let y(x) represent the number of bacteria in a culture at time t, then the rate of
change of population with respect to time is y' (x) . Thus, since
have y(x)
y' (x) is proportional to, we
y' (x) ky(x)
For some constant of proportionality k(the growth constant)
Now, from the above equation, we can derive,
y(x) Aekx , where A=constant, k=growth constant x=time
Considering the equation
We have
y(x) Aekx ------ (i)
y
(0)
100
Based on (i), we have y(0) 100 = Aek*0 = A (since e0 1 )
Therefore, 100= A
Subsequent
Now we get
y(4) 200 100ek*4 , based on the problem; replacing
x=4,y(x)=200, A=100, x=4
2 e4k ,solving the above equation
Applying natural logs on both sides, ln 2 4k
Thus k ln 2 0.173

Subsequently, we can consider that, doubling of the population happens every 4 hours
Now, let’s make a table out of the concept that, initial population is 100 and doubling of
the population happens every 4 hours

Hence we can conclude that the value of k remains the same throughout
Now, let’s consider the equation p(x) ey(x)

Therefore,

We have an initial information wherein it’s given that half-life of amitriptyline is

We have an initial information wherein it’s given that a bank offers to sell a bank note
which would mature after 10 years and hold a value of $10,000. We need to find the
initial investment if we need to have to receive a 8% return
Also, we need to prove $Pert at any time, t , considering P final amount, r constant
interest rate
According to the basic formulas: P(1 r )nt where
n
P principle, r rate of interest,
t time, n number of times compounded annually
Exponential rise(+)/Exponential depreciation(-)=
v(t) value at time, t , r rate of interest
Linear depreciation v(t) mt b
v(t) Ae(rise/ depreciation)*r*t where
Exponential depreciation(-)= v(t) Aer*t
v(0) 10000 Ae
r*0
A 10, 000
,considering final value as $10,000
10 years before the asset value would have been
v(10) Ae
10*0.08
$4493.29
considering, A 10, 000
, rate r 8% 0.08
we need to prove $Pert at any time, t , considering P final amount, r constant interest
rate
This means that we need to find the value of this asset whose present worth is $P, for any
time, t
According to continuous compounding,
Current value=Principle*ert
According to the present condition, current value=$P
Thus, $P=Principle*ert
So, Principle= $P $Pert , here t =time when the initial amount was invested
ert
But if we need to find the value of t =anytime, then we need to replace principle amount
with a value which is equal to the investment value at time, t
Thus, we get $4493.29as the amount which we need to pay if we wish to receive 8%
return on our investment.
Again, in general, the present value of an item $P in t years, with constant interest r is
given by $Pert
